Metro Detroit Home Store Launches Jingle Contest to Combat Quarantine

Clawson, MI – Leon & Lulu is Metro Detroit’s own award-winning lifestyle store. Set in the historic Ambassador Roller Rink and Clawson Theater in Downtown Clawson, Michigan, Leon & Lulu offers one-of-a-kind & custom furniture, as well as a spectacular selection of gifts, books, toys, accessories, and women’s clothing. Leon & Lulu is serious about exceptional design, fabulous service, and great pricing – with a sense of humor about everything else – and they’re ready to have some fun. Enter the official Leon & Lulu Jingle Contest.

Born from brainstorming about how to stay connected with customers during the pandemic, the Leon & Lulu Jingle Contest couldn’t come at a better time. Not only is the destination store perfectly poised for a jaunty little jingle, people across the globe are finding themselves quarantined and bored with lots of extra time on their hands. Additionally, professional musicians have certainly work as a result of stay-at-home orders, and this is a great opportunity to make some fast cash. Either way, Leon & Lulu is asking folks to tap their creative juices.

“There is somebody out there with a jingle waiting for us, so we decided to have our first, and only, jingle contest,” says Leon & Lulu’s owner Mary Liz Curtin. “We want something that you will never, ever forget… there’s nothing like an earworm. And anyway, what the heck do you have to do for the next few weeks?”

Judges are Devin Scillian (NBC/WDIV Detroit), Ann Delisi (NPR, WDET 101.9 FM), Ellen Doster (metro Detroit performer) and Mary Liz Curtin. First prize is $1,000 cash, lots of Leon & Lulu loot and dinner for four at Three Cats Restaurant in Clawson, MI (Leon & Lulu’s nextdoor sister restaurant). Jingle submissions are due by midnight June 15, 2020. The top ten contestants will be rolled out starting June 20, 2020 with the winner being announced July 1, 2020.

Audio and video submissions are being accepted at leonandlulu.com/jingle
